Preschool Program Announces New Developments

LaGrange School District 105 is excited to welcome new and returning families to preschool this fall! We look forward to working with our families to ensure that each student is Kindergarten ready. This school year brings many new opportunities to the program.

Beginning in the 2017-2018 school year, all of our preschool classrooms will be located in one building, Hodgkins Elementary School. This summer, our teachers and staff will be preparing their classrooms and new school for our youngest learners to start the school year. This move will enable our staff to collaborate on a more consistent basis and enable our preschool students to experience inclusive learning opportunities that were not previously available. Mr. John Signatur and the rest of the Hodgkins staff welcome you and your family to be a part of the Hodgkins Family!

Additionally, our preschool team will be transitioning to the district’s early release schedule for Wednesdays. Our new preschool hours are:

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 8:30-11:15 and 12:15-3:00

Wednesday 8:30-10:30 and 12:15-2:15

This early release schedule will enable our teachers to engage in consistent, meaningful professional development and collaboration around what is best for our preschool students. Those students who receive transportation services will continue to receive services with this new schedule taken into account.

Do not hesitate to contact the Director of Student Services, Maureen Kidd, with any questions that you may have. 708-482-2700
